Linus Torvalds 0313bc278d Revert "random: block in /dev/urandom"
This reverts commit 6f98a4bfee72c22f50aedb39fb761567969865fe.

It turns out we still can't do this.  Way too many platforms that don't
have any real source of randomness at boot and no jitter entropy because
they don't even have a cycle counter.

As reported by Guenter Roeck:

 "This causes a large number of qemu boot test failures for various
  architectures (arm, m68k, microblaze, sparc32, xtensa are the ones I
  observed).

  Common denominator is that boot hangs at 'Saving random seed:'"

This isn't hugely unexpected - we tried it, it failed, so now we'll
revert it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
